Hello,
New to the forum and OMV.
I have successfully repurposed an old PC as an OMV NAS utilizing SnapRAID and Greyhole, but my read and write speeds (currently averaging about 10MB/S both ways) are rather poor compared to what I'm reading should be easily attainable with the hardware I have.
OMV machine is:
Core 2 Duo (1.86ghz)
Asus Commando mobo
2GB RAM
WD Red 3GB HDD's (x4)
Router is an Asus RT-N66U
I've scoured these forums and Google for hours trying to find either an answer to my question or for someone else experiencing similar SMB performance with Greyhole. The closet instance resulted in the user not finding any resolution to "fix" Greyhole, and switched to aufs with good results.
I would like to try resolving with Greyhole and keeping my current setup because everything is actually working quite smoothly...just slow.
If switching to aufs is actually the end conclusion we reach, my concern then turns to my data...I have transferred quite a bit of media files (movies mostly) and would hate to either lose them or redo everything...can a pool setup with Greyhole be somehow "transferred" to an aufs pool?
I'll apologize ahead of time for my lack of Linux knowledge, but I can follow instruction well. It is not my intent to come across daft or incapable, so please bear with me if I ask for clarification...treat me with the proverbial "kid gloves".
If there is any further info I have not provided, please ask and I will provide as much detail as I can.
I thank everyone in advance for their contributions.
